Overview The objective of the Physics/ Dual Degree option at Truman is to provide students interested in a career in engineering opportunities to strengthen their physics and liberal arts education. The Physics/ Dual Degree program accomplishes this objective by using the flexibility of the Learning Plan of the Bachelor of Arts (BA) in physics degree and a waiver of the residency requirement at Truman. A student is allowed to transfer back to Truman courses from the school to satisfy the Learning Plan and the advanced physics elective courses in order to satisfy the Truman degree requirements for a BA in physics. At the successful completion of the Physics/ Dual Degree program a student receives two degrees, a BA in physics from Truman and a BS in from another university. A student in the Physics/ Dual Degree program is free to pursue his/her degree at any accredited college. BA in Physics The BA in physics at Truman is designed to provide students with a general understanding of the fundamental laws of physics, to provide the skills necessary to plan an experiment, to make precise measurements, analyze the results, and communicate findings. It helps the student understand the role of physics in shaping the present world and recognize its potential to benefit mankind through the application of fundamental knowledge. The BA provides more breadth and flexibility in course choices and career directions. At the core of the BA degree is a 15-credit hours Learning Plan consisting of courses directed towards a career choice. Since we do not offer enough courses at Truman to satisfy the 15 credit hours of the Learning Plan in, the Physics/ Dual Degree program allows students to transfer back from an engineering school the engineering credits necessary to fulfill the Learning Plan requirements. Furthermore, since the completion of the engineering degree necessitates students to spend their senior year at an engineering school, the residency requirement for graduation from Truman has been waived. Additionally, to provide flexibility in transfer to school, provision has been made to allow students to substitute advanced courses with significant physics content, as judged by the Physics faculty at Truman, for the six-credit hours physics elective component of the BA degree. Transfer to school In the Physics/ Dual Degree program a student is not restricted to any particular engineering school. After selecting the school and the major, the student applies to the school in Fall semester of the junior year for admission starting in either Summer or the Fall of the following year. Typically, students in the Physics/ Dual Degree program work with the Degree Worksheet for the BA in physics at Truman and plan out their courses at Truman, preferably by the end of their Freshman year. In their sophomore year, students research possible schools and programs, and write to the admission and transfer coordinators of these schools to obtain necessary information regarding the transfer. 4
In the Fall semester of their Junior year at Truman students apply to the engineering school by directly contacting the admissions office of the engineering school. It is important for students to directly contact the admission and transfer coordinators at the particular engineering college they are planning to attend. Since the requirements for different engineering programs vary considerably from school to school, it is critical that a student is clear on the particular requirements for the application process and the major they wish to pursue at the engineering school. The current and reliable information on transferring to a particular engineering school can be obtained by contacting the Admissions office and the engineering departments of the corresponding school. Note that some engineering programs may require a student to arrive on the campus in the summer before they enroll in the Junior classes in the Fall semester. Why Physics/ Dual Degree? There are many advantages of a BA in physics for an engineer. With a BA in physics from Truman, students get a strong background in physics and a broad liberal arts background, while the engineering degree provides the depth and focus of an engineering discipline and the expertise to be a professional in the technical world. Such a dual complementary and synergistic background gives the student flexibility and breadth, the ability to communicate well, and the capability to work independently and in challenging environments. This is highly sought by employers. Timeline Freshman year: Plan out course work for three years at Truman. Sophomore year: Research schools and programs. Fall semester of Junior year: Apply for admission by directly contacting the school. Fall and Spring semesters of Junior year: Check for various requirements for Truman. Fill out 3+2 Physics/ Dual Degree BA Worksheet to ensure completion of all requirements for the BA in Physics degree from Truman. This includes the allowed 15 hours of the Learning Plan and 6 hours of the physics substitution to be transferred from the school. Note: It is a students responsibility to make sure that the plan is sound. Students should consult their academic advisor for guidance in the planning.

See Freshman Program. 1) The minimum number of hours required for a degree in Electrical is 128. 2) Students that transfer after their freshman year are not required to enroll in Freshman Seminars. 3) A minimum grade of C must be attained in Math 14, 15, 22, and 204, Physics 23 and 24 (or their equivalents), El Eng 151, 152, 153, 121, 122, 215, 216, 217, 218, 253, 255, 271 and 272, the El Eng power elective (205 and 208 or 207 and 209), and Cp Eng 111 and 112. Also, students may not enroll in other courses that use these courses as prerequisites until the minimum grade of C is attained. 4) Students may take Physics 21 and 22 or Physics 21 and 27 in place of Physics 23. Students may take Physics 25 and 26 or Physics 25 and 28 in place of Physics 24. 5) All electives must be approved by the student s advisor. Students must comply with the engineering general education requirements with respect to selection and depth of study. These requirements are specified in the current catalog. 6) Students who drop a lecture prior to the last week to drop a class must also drop the corequisite lab. 7) Students must earn a passing grade on the El Eng Advancement Exam I (associated with El Eng 151) before they enroll in El Eng 153 or 121 and 122. 8) Students must earn a passing grade on the Cp Eng Advancement Exam (associated with Cp Eng 111) before they enroll in any course with Cp Eng 111 and 112 as prerequisites. 9) Students must earn a passing grade on the El Eng Advancement Exam II (associated with El Eng 153) before they enroll in El Eng 205 and 208, 207 and 209, 253 and 255, 215 and 216, or 271 and 272. 10) Students must earn a passing grade on the El Eng Advancement Exam III (associated with El Eng 121) before they enroll in El Eng 253 and 255 or other courses with El Eng 121 as a prerequisite. 11) Students must take IDE 140, Mc Eng 219, Mc Eng 227, Physics 207, Physics 208, Chem 221, Biology 211, or Biology 231. The following pairs of courses are substitutions for any single course: IDE 50 and IDE 150, Physics 107 and Physics 311, Physics 107 and Cr Eng 284, Physics 107 and Nu Eng 205, or Eng Mt 211 and Eng Mt 282. 12) Students may replace Stat 217 with Stat 215 or Stat 343. 13) Students may replace English 160 with English 60. 14) El Eng Electives A, B, and C must be chosen from the El Eng 205 and 208, 207 and 209, 225, 231 or 235, 243, 254, or Cp Eng 213. 15) The El Eng Power Elective may be satisfied with El Eng 205 and 208 or El Eng 207 and 209. 16) El Eng Elective D must be a 300-level El Eng or Cp Eng course with at least a 3-hour lecture component. This normally includes all El Eng and Cp Eng 3xx courses except El Eng 300, 390, 391, and 392. 17) El Eng Elective E may be any 200 or 300-level El Eng or Cp Eng course except El Eng 281, 282, and 283 and El Eng or Cp Eng 391 and 392. 18) Students are required to take five hours of free elective in consultation with their academic advisors. s that do not count toward this requirement are deficiency courses (such as algebra and trigonometry) and extra credits from courses meeting other requirements. Any courses outside of engineering and science must be at least three credit hours. El Eng 281, 282, and 283 and CpE 391 and 392 may not be used for free electives. 19) All Electrical students must take the Fundamentals of Examination prior to graduation. A passing grade on this examination is not required to earn a B.S. degree, however, it is the first step toward becoming a registered professional engineer. This requirement is part of the Missouri S&T assessment process as described in Assessment Requirements found elsewhere. Students must sign a release form giving the University access to their Fundamentals of Examination score. Students may pursue an emphasis specialty in circuits, electronics, power, communications-signal processing, controls, electromagnetics, optic/devices, or computer engineering. An emphasis is not required. 16
